Description

The Greenside Hotel, located on High Street in Leslie, is a mid-19th century building that originally served as a house before being converted into a hotel with modern extensions. It features two storeys and an attic, with a three-bay pedimented design. The exterior is constructed from squared and snecked whinstone, which is heavily pointed, and includes stone quoins, margins, and a base course. The southern face showcases coursed ashlar and stone mullions.

On the eastern elevation, which is the main front, there is a pedimented tripartite doorway positioned to the right of the center. This doorway has a moulded cornice supported by consoles adorned with ropework and floral detailing, along with narrow glazed sidelights. To the right of the doorway is a window, with another window to the outer left. Above these, there are first-floor windows and a round-headed stair window over the door. The attic features two windows with a plaque depicting weaver's tools, possibly from an earlier structure, and there is a flat-topped gable above.

The southern elevation, facing High Street, is dominated by a gable that includes a quadripartite canted window at both the ground and first floors, with a moulded cornice at each level. The attic has a bipartite window and a pyramidal finial. There is also a harled extension to the west.

The windows are fitted with modern plate glass in sash and case styles, featuring a small-pane glazing pattern with a coloured border in the stair window. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the gablehead stacks are cavetto coped and truncated, complete with a full set of cans. The southern gable has pyramid coped ashlar skews that are stepped, along with pyramid skewputts on 'S' scrolls.

Additionally, there is an arched gateway that leads to a former stable, located opposite the West Gate archway of Leslie House. This gateway is made of whinstone blocks and features an impost string course with a flat-coped stepped wallhead. The rear has remains of random rubble abutting the wall, and there are blocked openings in the flanking bays. Currently, this area serves as a boundary for a car park.
